India’s Real Voices, Ready for AI: Explore Audino’s Complete Audio Dataset Collection
In a world full of synthetic training data, real voices still win. That’s why at Audino, we’re proud to present the most comprehensive, diverse, and production-ready collection of Indian speech datasets available today. If you’re building speech AI for India, this is your launchpad.
Built for the Real World, Not the Lab
Speech models break when the data doesn’t reflect the way people actually speak. That’s why we focused on:
- Regional accents
- Multiple audio formats and environments
- Spontaneous vs. read speech
Whether you're training an ASR engine, a voice assistant, or a call center analyzer, our datasets are shaped to handle India's real-world complexity.
Languages & Dialects Covered
We currently support 12+ languages, each available with native and code-switched accents:
Language | Variants / Accents | Hours Available | Price (USD/hour) |

Dataset Types
Our catalog includes data across a wide spectrum of speech contexts:
1. Interview Conversations
Long-form, multi-speaker, emotional, spontaneous Ideal for: Emotion recognition, speaker diarization, intent analysis
2. YouTube Speech Extracts
Natural pacing, informal tone, multiple domains (tech, education, lifestyle) Ideal for: Domain adaptation, noisy transcription models
3. Call Center Recordings
Real-world calls in Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, English Dual-channel audio, speaker-labeled, with interruptions and overlaps Ideal for: Call analysis, customer service bots, intent detection
4. Product Launch & Corporate Videos
Clean, persuasive, scripted speech with industry-specific vocabulary Ideal for: Domain-specific speech models, corporate voice training
5. Sentence Reading Tasks
Studio-quality, well-paced, phonetically diverse sentence readings Ideal for: Acoustic modeling, pronunciation models, emotion detection
6. Mixed Datasets
Combos of the above in one pack for training general-purpose models Ideal for: Large foundational models or zero-shot fine-tuning
Audino Annotation Quality Guarantee
Every dataset is:
- Manually verified using Audino’s open-source annotation tool
